I recently bought a Western Digital external drive (Media Center)
which came with Retrospect 6.5 backup software. It seemed (one really
never knows all the time, do they?) to install and run correctly. I
have my computer set up for automatic incremental backups on docments
only. That seems to work.

  I have a two computer network, my wife is the other computer. I can
print to her printer and see a Shared Documents folder. But I don't
know how to back up her data files from my computer. Retrospect would
allow me to do that with a script but if I can't see her entire disk
from my computer, it wouldn't work, would it? What do I need to do?

Thanks,
Gary E.
